John Kasich in No Man's Land

These and
more important questions will be answered in today’s edition of “Why are you
running for president?”

John Kasich
is the governor of Ohio.
He’s currently polling at 6% for the presidential race. That’s out of 100. So
94% of decided voters have rejected John Kasich but he’s OK with that because
of another number. 40% of independent voters in New Hampshire haven’t made up their mind
yet. John apparently believes he’s going to convince all 40% to vote for him
which is what it will take for him to overtake racist lump of mashed potatoes
Donald Trump.

Those
independent voters aren’t as independent as they want you to think they are.
They say “I don’t know who to vote for yet”, but my bet is the majority have
made up their mind and it will be for one of the front-runners. To be contrary
and convince their neighbors they’re the last of a dying breed, they’ll
harrumph and pettifog until Election Day and then cast their ballot for Trump
or pizza box grease spot Ted Cruz.

Once again
I believe you need name recognition before you run for president and Kasich
doesn’t have it. At this point Trump has blared his vile rhetoric like a
foghorn through a stack of Marshall
amps for months. Ted Cruz has slithered into the hearts and minds of people who
are dead inside and infested their thinking like mad cow disease to the tune of
double digit support. Ben Carson has put a fine edge on his dullness by spewing
batshit crazy slime trails of wisdom on social media that has somehow vaulted
him into a distant 3rd.

And then
there’s everyone else which includes John Kasich. Sorry guvnor, you’ve been
rejected and are now yet another vain man wasting time and money on a pipe
dream.
